Sib. 8.x: Playback issues Posted by MikeK - 24 Jan 03:38PM (edited 24 Jan 03:59PM) Hide picture I am Currently using Sibelius 8 and i am running on Windows 10. In my score i have Various Cornet Parts. On playback at times the muted cornet sound happens on a different cornet part even though i have not put muted. For Example Movement 3 Rep Cornet 2nd and 3rd Cornets are muted the Solo Cornets are open but when i play back the score all cornets come through as muted in certain sections but if i take off the mutes on the lower cornets then nothing is muted. I have installed ASIO4ALL and after a few attempts i have got it working. I never had this problem in Sib7. The laptop i am using is brand new. I can get the score to play everything without the mute sounds but not with them. Please help. Attachment Symphonice Episodes 1-3 Proof.sib (586K) Back to top | All threads

Re: Sib. 8.x: Playback issues Posted by Mike Lyons - 24 Jan 05:14PM (edited 24 Jan 05:16PM) Hide picture It is more usual to use the word "mute" to mute cornets and the word "open" to unmute them. Most brass band cornet players I lnow would look at me askance if I gave them the posh orchestral string directions. TBH, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack without an indication of where the problem occurs - especially as your cornet parts are on split staves. Could it be that a mute/unmute direction is attached to the wrong staff? Another possibility, because you are not only using different staves but different voices (overkill in my estimation) try making the text in voice 5.

Re: Sib. 8.x: Playback issues Posted by Robin Walker - 24 Jan 06:06PM Hide picture The reason that there are playback problems is that the original Sibelius 8 score is configured to use Playback Configuration "General MIDI (Basic)". There are too many staves in the score to be played by "General MIDI (Basic)", which is limited to 16 different sounds. Sibelius therefore forces some staves to share inappropriate sounds. To hear the score properly, use Playback Configuration "Sibelius 7 Sounds", and ensure that you have installed Sibelius 7 Sounds. -- Sibelius 8.1/7.5.1/7.1.3/6.2/5.2.5, PhotoScore Ult 8.0.4, Dolet 6.4 for Sibelius, Windows 7 32-bit SP1 4GB, Windows 8.1 64-bit 16GB.

Re: Sib. 8.x: Playback issues Posted by Andrew Chung - 02 Feb 06:00PM Hide picture Hi Robin, I'm having a similar problem. I have already installed Sibelius 7 sounds but they do not show up as an option for playback in the 'setup' window, nor do they show up in the 'configuration' dropdown menu. For some reason it only says that I have Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth installed in the devices shown in the 'setup' window.

Re: Sib. 8.x: Playback issues Posted by Andrew Chung - 02 Feb 08:13PM Hide picture Hmm well I downloaded and installed Sibelius 8 through the Avid Application Manager, after which I downloaded the Sibelius 7.5 Sounds file from my Avid Account 'My Products' page.

Re: Sib. 8.x: Playback issues Posted by Robin Walker - 03 Feb 07:18PM Hide picture > Attached is a screen of my regedit. That is not the default installation location for the Sibelius 7 Sounds library. Presumably, you chose a custom installation location during your first-ever use of the Sibelius Sounds installer, which got automatically copied into all subsequent sounds installation attempts (once set, cannot be changed in the installer).

Do things in this order: - quit Sibelius; - use regedit to DELETE the registry key ContentPath from the left-hand column, as shown in my previous screen-shot; - delete the files installed at the wrong location; - run the Sibelius 7 Sounds Installer; - when it finishes, launch Sibelius. -- Sibelius 8.1/7.5.1/7.1.3/6.2/5.2.5, PhotoScore Ult 8.0.4, Dolet 6.4 for Sibelius, Windows 7 32-bit SP1 4GB, Windows 8.1 64-bit 16GB.

Re: Sib. 8.x: Playback issues Posted by Adrian Drover - 24 Jan 06:41PM (edited 24 Jan 06:47PM) Hide picture Thanx for the sib7 version, Laurence. The problem seems to start at measure 22 in 3rd movement. Also, before that, in measure 1, the "senza sord" doesn't seem to want to catch all of the grace notes. I tried shifting it to no avail. I'm also wondering if the soprano should also be muted in that measure. What does "mf +" mean in measure 12? Aha!, looking in the mixer, I see that solo 3/4, 2nd & 3rd cornets are all sharing channel 4. There's a lot of other sharing going on in there too. This could well be the problem. 26 staves and only 16 channels. Back to top | All threads

Re: Sib. 8.x: Playback issues Posted by Adrian Drover - 25 Jan 12:26AM Hide picture I've just come up with an idea to beat the channel sharing problem. You can create a new instrument definition for muted cornet. Then instead of letting the playback dictionary do the reading, make actual instrument changes for open & muted.

Re: Sib. 8.x: Playback issues Posted by Laurence Payne - 25 Jan 12:31AM Hide picture Will that actually make any difference? Unless we're running MIDI out to an external device, I didn't think the channels meant much. When interfacing with Sibelius Sounds we're dealing with a lot more than 16 simultaneous sounds anyway.

Re: Sib. 8.x: Playback issues Posted by Adrian Drover - 25 Jan 08:46AM Hide picture I have no recent experience with Sib Sounds, but I see no reason why it should not work. I once noticed that I had a playback dictionary entry for flügelhorn (probably imported from an old version of sib) which worked when I used it instead of making an instrument change. Open cornet and muted cornet (which probably sounds the same as muted trumpet anyway) are different sounds, so why should they not work as two completely different instruments? I'll try it out sometime, as I'm also limited to 16 channels with my Yam XGM box, sometimes experiencing Mike's problem. Back to top | All threads

Re: Sib. 8.x: Playback issues Posted by Laurence Payne - 25 Jan 04:12PM Hide picture Using Instrument Changes will doubtless work, but seems unnecessary. It won't affect the number of sounds Sibelius is required to play at any particular moment. -- FAQ www.laurencepayne.co.uk/sibelius.html If you want help with a score, attach the sib file!

Re: Sib. 8.x: Playback issues Posted by Adrian Drover - 25 Jan 05:37PM (edited 25 Jan 05:45PM) Hide picture But is a solution for anyone who declines to use Sib Sounds and is having a problem with channel sharing? Brass band charts only require 9 sounds at most (probably less) plus percussion, which leaves room in a 16 channel playback to create one or two muted instruments. Back to top | All threads

Re: Sib. 8.x: Playback issues Posted by MikeK - 28 Jan 12:50AM (edited 28 Jan 11:36AM) Hide picture Thanks for all you advice. I've decided to get rid of sibelius 8 alogetherand go back to sibelius 7 where I didn't seem to have these issues. I have unistalled and reinstalled it picks up old settiings.ive tried everything and it works in parts but when I go back in later it's all over the place again. I've not got time to keep messing with it everyone I'm writing something. It feels likes it's been a wasterisk of time and money. Back to top | All threads
